Sarawak Regatta 2009 - Kuching Waterfront

You can see people, polices around town area. They blocked the way to waterfront since yesterday.. Now tents are put up. "Sarawak Regatta is Kuching's top boat-racing event, and has 15 different race categories. Traditional Chinese dragon boats, along with other colourful models, are paddled through the waters of the Sarawak River along Kuching Waterfront. The Sarawak Regatta is an annual event held at the Kuching Waterfront at the Sarawak River. This year Sarawak Regatta will be held from 31st July till 2nd August 2009."

I don't like such event at all. There will be huge crowds.. and you can see lots of people, mostly locals and of course, not forgetting the foreigners too. There will be noise pollution from the speakers, peoples, music.. etc. Perhaps, it is not a very good time for such events considering risks like H1N1, Dengue. Yesterday, the authority performed thick insecticidal fogging to main bazaar area. They are really thoughtful but i don't think it is effective. Cockroaches are dying because of this fogging exercise. But it is not working for mosquito.. Maybe they are just too many of them or maybe they are immuned to this fogs.

Ok... Again... No car park.. i think government is expecting visitors to go there by either "legs, taxi or bus".. But night view of the new DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri) building or complex is appealing. Following is the day view of the complex.
